The best poem ever

  What if, says a small child to me this afternoon, We made a poem without using any words at all? Wouldn’t that be cool? You could use long twigs, And feathers, or spider strands, and arrange them So that people imagine what words could...

The Christian Century

"Even inside a five-story brownstone crowded with #paintings, #sculptures and #books, no single work can fully contain the spirit of #Ukrainian-born #artist #BenZion. Still, one #painting comes close: a #portrait of the healer and #rabbi known as #BaalShemTov, seated calmly beneath a tree. Rendered in ochre, gray and green, the canvas draws on #Jewish #mysticism and the natural world, themes that pulse through Ben-Zion’s life and work.

Perfectly preserved from the years Ben-Zion lived there, from 1965 until his death in 1987, the #BenZionHouse, located in #Chelsea in #Manhattan, is anything but a mausoleum. Instead, it feels like a living sanctuary — one that not only celebrates the Jewish artist’s life and work, but continues to inspire the #writers, #poets, #architects, #musicians and #painters who pass through its rooms."
